WHEN the new time card goes into
effect on the Union Pacific, Nov. l, the
time from Omaha to San Francisco will
be shortened sixteen hours, according to
General Manager Potter. This would
probably make four hours difference in
the prevailing time between Omaha and
Cheyenne, thus bringing in the west
bound train, which now arrives here at
$40 p. M, at lao O'Clock in the after.
noon, while the eastbound train, which
now reaches here at 1920 in the morning,
would, under the new order of things,
come in about four hours earlier. Not
withstsnding all the talk, there seems to
be no possibility of another train being
put on each way. One very good reason
for this is that the company's rolling
stock is not sufficient to handle the bust
ness as it is at present adjusted, and Ger
tainly would not be able to cope with ad,
ditional traffic.

A well known poet of Spain, dcservedly
famous for his work, was at the Same
time n man of most advanced radical
opinions, and winged such bitter and open
war against the regency that he was at
Inst arrested, tried and exiled. He was
but scantily endowed with the worlds
goods, and the wife and children he left
behind soon fell into absolute poverty.
The poet petitioned Queen Christina for
pardon in their behalf, and was at once
permitted by her to return to Spain and
to his family. He obtained an audience
and went in person to tender his thanks
to the sovereign and offer the expressions
OF his gratitude n homage. He was
graciously treated, less as the enemy that
was than the future friend.
Suddenly the queen said: You are not
rich, senior; literary men Of merit seldom
are, and you nave a large family, have

The wood, preferably spruce, although
any soft, fibrous wood will answer is
cleared of its bark and GU to a length
uniform with the grindstone to be used,
generally 10 to "A inches. 1t is then placed
against the face of a rapidly revolving
grindstone, the grain of the wood being
in q line with or parallel with the axis of
the stone, and a hydraulic or worm screw
piston keeping the wood constantly
pressed against the stone. The result,
which is washed off the stone by a shower
of water, after being screened of slivers
and sawdust, is a milky white liquid.
With the water sufficiently extracted this
this is the wood pulp used in the manu-
facture of paper and indurated fiber
ware.
The process of manufacture of ware
from the pulp is exceedingly simple, and
is similar in all the lines made by the
company. In making a pail, for in
stance, the machine for first molding the
pail from the pulp is provided with a hollow
perforated form of cast iron, shaped like
the inside of a pail, and covered first with
perforated brass and then with fine wire

piston, is pushed up into a large cast iron
That" which fits over it very tightly.
Within this hat is placed a flexible
rubber bag, and between this and the in
ner form first mentioned is admitted the
pulp, still In a liquid state. The pulp
being pumped in under pressure, the
water Immediately begins to drain off
through the wine cloth and perforations,
and the rubber bag swells until it fills the
hat. The supply of pulp is then shut off,
and water under high pressure is admit
ted within the hat and outside h rubber
bag, thus squeezing much Of the water
from the pulp. After standing some
eight to ten minutes the pressure is shut
off, the inner form lowered and the pulp
pail removed.
AT this stage the pail is nearly so per
cent. water, but is sufficiently strong to
allow handling. This water is first all
dried out in dry kilns, and then the pail
is turned off on the outside with a gang
of saws. After sandpapering inside and
out the pail is ready for the treatment
house, where it is charged with a water
proofing compound which permeates
thoroughly the material of which the
pail is made. Baking in ovens at a high
temperature succeeds each dip or treat
ment. The polish which the goods
present is described as being the result Of
the final treatment. After this the handles
are riveted on the goods, which are then
ready for the market. Railway Review.

THAT stnid Old Quaker journal. the

THAT staid old Quaker Journal, the
Philadelphia Ledger. appeared last Sat
urday in an eight page form Of dimen-
sious that appear enormous to an Ameri-
can reader. There are ten columns to
the page and each column is twenty.seven
inches in length. Even with this vast
amount of space at its command, the
news is still presented with wonderful
compactness. The Ledger has for years
occupied a unique position among Ameri-
can newspapers. 1t is a living refut .tion
of the statement that a successful news
p cannot afford to be clean. But,
while clean, it is not inane. 1t looks On
passing events from an unselfsh stand
point. and deals powerful blows on the
side of truth and Justice.
The latest change shows that the paper
has not fallen into a rut. The people de-
mand a wider range and greater amplif-
cation of the news and the successful pub
lie journal must cater to this reasonable
demand. The Ledger is meeting this by
embracing the whole world in a special
telegraphic service, but it will remain I'M
changed in the principles upon which it
has always been conducted. Three new
presses have Just been added to its me-
chanical facilities and nothing more clear
ly shows the s%tupendous strides of modern
invention than the fact that the Ledger
is now prepared to turn out eight page
papers at the rate ofll7 600 an hour.

/ came across q queer old iishmonger ut
Quincy market, the other day, who had
for sale a most curious variety OF oils Oh
tanned from finny inhabitants OF the deep,
most of which had never heard of in my
life before. He kept them on q long shelf,
In II row of enormous glass bottles. OF
the contents of many of them, he said,
apOthecaries bought large quantities for
medicinal purposes. In No. |, he eX-
planned, was porpoise oil, derived from the
~jawbone Of that interesting animal, which
for l~ubricating watch machinery is un-
equaled. Tho big sunfish OF the sea sup

tried out from the entrails OF eels and
pickerel are frequently prescribed, so the
vender of fish declared, for deafness. The
skins OF cells, by the way, are Il sovereign

More than half Of the big bottles were
filled with cod liver oil. or this the pro-
duction is, of course, far greater han that
OF all the rest combined.
The process OF refining 1t, 1 am told, is
quite elaborate. To this-by far the
greatest fish market in the United States
many millions of livers are brought
every season by salty trawlers, who sell
them at the docks to manufacturers
agents. The crude oil is passed through
boiling water, SO hat it may be thorough
ly cooked, and then poured into canvas
bags. These bags are squeezed beneath
hydraulic presses, the lard like stearine
remaining inside, while the oleine oozes
out ready to put up for the market. This
cod liver oil, Of the best quality, can be
obtained from the manufacturer by any
one who cares to bring his own receptacle
at $l.25 per gallon. Apothecaries charge
about this per quart. Among the rarest
Of the fish products exhibited by the old
market man was melon oil-so called be-
cause 1t has the fragrance of the musk
melon. 1t is n secretion in the nose Of a
pilot whale, and is the best lubricant
known-short of ~porpoise oil-for delicate
machinery. Its congealing point is so
low hat it remain liquid with the Their
mometer at zero. Another curious oil,
which is so susceptible to cold that If
placed In a temperature where ice melts

the base of the forelegs Of the Indus river
crocodile. 1t is a famous leather dressing.

A young woman who claims Augusta
as her home, and who OBLIGATED as maid
to a New York belle who spent last sum
mer at Bar Harbor, has just cleared up
what was regarded, even at that resort,
used as 1t Is to queer freaks, as mysterious
actions. Every morning my lady's maid
was seen to leave the hotel between 8 and
8, and spread on the grass something that
looked very like a fine white handker-
chief. Then, having waited a few mo-
ments, she would gather up the article and
return TO her mistress chamber. She
now explains that it was part of her du-
ties to wet a lace mouchoir-as the lady
called it-with the early dew of morning
and then lay it owe the face of the New
York belle, who had an idea that it soft
ened and added beauty and freshness to
her complexion. Privately, the maid adj
mitted-not expecting to be engaged by
the same damsel another season-that the
young lady's ruse was a failure, as her
complexion always looked moist and
rather shiny, instead of having the clear
tint she hoped fer. That the first snow
of winter is commonly supposed to remove
freckles is an old c%onceit, but that the
morning dew enhances the complexion of
city bellies is indeed a new fad. Lewis
